Relios Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 So......how long were we ignoring the fact that the woman who doesnt know what a fish is knows more about the Divide than it's apparent creator...? http://i41.tinypic.com/2d94lso.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted4666244User Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Maybe because the Courier never stayed long enough to learn anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboUK Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The Courier doesn't know much about his/her past, I assume that would include the Divide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relios Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 I cant really accept the Courier as being an amnesiac, as he remembers the relationship of a sniper and spotter, the language of the Dead Horse/Sorrows, and screwing a woman in Montana 18 years prior. Plus, it never really is stated that he's suffering from memory loss, hell, I remember reading in a thread here that the devs denied that possibility.

JimboUK Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Although amnesia is never mentioned, retrograde amnesia is heavily suggested, the effects of which tend to damage newer memories to a greater extent. Retrograde amnesia can be brought about by head trauma, something the Courier certainly did suffer. Personally I wish they'd left the characters backstory up to the player.

Relios Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Well, that seems more like Elder Scrolls territory...Fallout games have a tendency of telling you exactly who you are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main game doesn't, it's only the DLC that seeks to do it. It's not uncommon for RPGs to leave the backstory to the player, it makes sense, it lets you decide exactly what the character is like.

Well......Fallout 1 tells you you're someone who was born and raised in a vault, Fallout 2 sets you as the tribal grandchild of the Vault dweller, and Fallout 3 has you as an 18 year old who was born outside but raised in a vault. New Vegas and Tactics were the most lenient when it came to possible backstory (Well....If it werent for FOT being non-canon and Lonesome Road.......)
